Brain Forcing in Children.

We are living under the reign Of the school
master The impulse to have children ac-
uuire learning that can never be made avaia-
bio for any purpose Of life is SO powerful that
it NAV almost be regarded as morbid For
children to be reduced to one common level,
as they are in our schools almost without ex-
ception, and to have studies crowded upon
them in advance Of their brain development,
are crimes against nature which nature In
her blind way expiates by Furnishing the
wrong person, but which those who know the
right should promptly expose. The brain OF
a child is larger in proportion TO its body
than Is that OF the adult. A fact which is
somewhat astonishing to those not aware Of it
Is that the head of the boy or girl does not
grow in size after the It'll year, SO that
the hat that is worn at that age can be worn
lust as well at 80. In TIE meantime the rest
of the body has more than doubled in magnl-
tude Not only is the brain larger, but it Is
more excitable and impresSionable in the child
than in the adult. At the same time the
structure is immature. What it possesses in
size it lacks in organizations; consequently 1t
is not at its maximum for severe and long
continued exertion, and when subjected to a
strain of this kind it is certain to suffer.
The disadvanta yes to the child of overtask-
ing its muscular system are well understood,
and wise laws have been enacted by most
civilized people protecting children from the
greed of those who would, If left to their own
devices, work them to excess. But there are
no laws for the protection of their brains
from the attacks of ignorant parents and
guardians, tho insidious warfare Of the COM
pliers of school books who write treatises on
physiology in rhyme for infants, and the ever
ready schoolmaster, who, with the child, a
victim of a pernicious system, must carry
out the behests of those set over him.-Dr.

Tho Paper Chase Near Paris.

Every season has its game on sport, and
Just at this time is the paper chase in full
blast. This game is not played as it is in
America and England. There it enlists the
efforts Of the toughest, hardest athletes in a
run over miles of rough country. Here the
country is usually passably rough, but the
course is made on horseback, and the players
now and then include women. AS rule,
however, the players are military officers.
1t is not popular sport in the senSe that all
kinds OF people indulge in it 1t is diver
sion for the wealthy or the military. When
it is played, like AN American fox hunt, it is
attended by a great concourss Of spectators
in carriages
There was fine chase the other day not far

rider. made hit A tent was erected at the
finishing point, and band Of music stationed

Times When He Lost Confidence In HIM
self-His Absentmindedness
there was one peculiar characteristic OF
Mr. Beecher's that have not seen mentioned
In the papers," said an intimate friend OF the
sreat preacher the other day, sand this is
his occasional lack of confidence in himself.
Time and again he has told me that when
before an audience at some public meeting
and while awaiting his turn to speak ne was
often almost on the point OF getting up ana
going out. AS listened to one and another
speaker address the meeting,' be used to say,
Il would think, my goodness, l never can
make such speeches as those; I'd better leave
here at once But when he was once On his
feet all these feelings vanished, OF course, and
he felt completely at ease. He was always
subject to these times Of self depreciation
both in and out Of the pulpit. When he first
came to Brooklyn, he used to go around the
the back streets just avoid meeting people
whom he might know. He combined with
his wonderful vigor and boldness the shrink
ing timidity of school girl"
OF Mr.. Beecher's absentmindedness DR..
Searle, his physician, told this story: Mrs.
Searle was standing at the parlor window
one day when she noticed Mr.. Beecher go up
Mr.. Raymond's stoop, over the way. and ring
the bell. Before it was answered be came down
the steps and continued on his way up the
street. Seeing Mira Scale he crossed over and
with smile said, "Say, can you tea where l

"Why you are going to baptlzs MI.

"That's it, that's just it, he replied. but for
the life of me couldn't recall the fact"
"Another instance recollect." continued
the doctor, Happened at his house. l was
there at dinner. Maj. Pond, who was also
present, spoke of concert that was to be held
in New York that evening Mr. Beecher said
he would like to attend it with him. But you
can't CO. said Mrs. Beecher to him; you have
an engagement for tonight oh, no, l
haven't he rejoined, I am free tonight and
think I'll go over to the concert While
she was trying to convince him that he really
had some other matter on hand a carriage
drove up to take him to Hoboken, where he
was booked for a lecture"
In reference to Mr.. Beecher's memory, the
doctor added: at was marvelously poor.

Prominent Citizen Dies at the Age
Of Seventy-Seven Years After Several
Months Illness.
Mr.. Joseph Parker, n years of age, died
early yesterday morning after all illness of
several months. The late Mr.. Parker was
born July 10, 1910, at South Farms in the
town of Litchfeld. His mother was Sarah
Moss of Huntington. In his fourteenth year
Mr.. Parker came to New Haven, where he
lived until he became of age. In 1882 he
was in the hardware business in New York.
In 1910 he was instrumental in founding tie
West Rock paper mill. To him belongs the
honor of manufacturing out of cotton waste
the first sheet of fine and superfine book
paper made in the United States Papers
from this mill were recognized by all pub
fishers as being of a superior quality. 1t was
their blotting papers which brought money
rapidly to their concern. In 1885 Mr.. Par
ker married Caroline, daughter of Harvey
Milford of this city. Six children have been
born to them-Joseph Parker, jr, "a member
of the frm) and five daughters, of whom
three are deceased. VIM. II. Eaton, of the
present firm, has been for about year super
intendent of the factory, his partnership dat
ing over ten years ago. Since 1881 the de-
ceased has been a member of the National
New Haven bank, his good Judgment being
fully recognized at board meetings
By strict attention to business Mr.. Parker
succeeded in amassing considerable sum of
money, nearly all of which he had invested
In well paying corporations. He was very
charitable man, and was ready to advance
any undertaking that would aid the worthy
poor. He was a very influential citizen, and
one who will be missed in our community.
